Class ErrorExpression

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExportAgent, Locatable, IdentityComparable, Traceable

    public class ErrorExpression
    extends Expression
    Error expression: this expression is generated when the supplied expression cannot be parsed, and the containing element enables forwards-compatible processing. It defers the generation of an error message until an attempt is made to evaluate the expression
    • Constructor Detail

      • ErrorExpression

        public ErrorExpression()
        This constructor is never executed, but it is used in the expression parser as a dummy so that the Java compiler recognizes parsing methods as always returning a non-null result.
      • ErrorExpression

        public ErrorExpression​(java.lang.String message,
                               java.lang.String errorCode,
                               boolean isTypeError)
        Create an ErrorExpression, which if evaluated, generates a dynamic error
        Parameters:
        message - the error message
        errorCode - the error code
        isTypeError - true if this is a type error
      • ErrorExpression

        public ErrorExpression​(XmlProcessingError exception)
        Constructor taking an exception. Creating exceptions is expensive, so this constructor should be used only if the exception object already exists.
        Parameters:
        exception - the error to be thrown when this expression is evaluated

      • getException

        public XmlProcessingError getException()

        public boolean isTypeError()
      • getMessage

        public java.lang.String getMessage()

      • typeCheck

        public Expression typeCheck​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                    ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                             throws XPathException
        Type-check the expression.
        Overrides:
        typeCheck in class Expression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.
        Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
      • optimize

        public Expression optimize​(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                   ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                            throws XPathException
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

        This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

        Overrides:
        optimize in class Expression
        Parameters:
        visitor - an expression visitor
        contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE
        Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
      • getImplementationMethod

        public int getImplementationMethod()
        An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.
        Specified by:
        getImplementationMethod in class Expression
        Returns:
        the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD
      • evaluateItem

        public Item evaluateItem​(XPathContext context)
                          throws XPathException
        Evaluate the expression. This always throws the exception registered when the expression was first parsed.
        Overrides:
        evaluateItem in class Expression
        Parameters:
        context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
        Returns:
        the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
      • iterate

        public SequenceIterator iterate​(XPathContext context)
                                 throws XPathException
        Iterate over the expression. This always throws the exception registered when the expression was first parsed.
        Overrides:
        iterate in class Expression
        Parameters:
        context - supplies the context for evaluation
        Returns:
        a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
      • getItemType

        public ItemType getItemType()
        Determine the data type of the expression, if possible
        Specified by:
        getItemType in class Expression
        Returns:
        Type.ITEM (meaning not known in advance)
      • copy

        public Expression copy​(RebindingMap rebindings)
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
        Specified by:
        copy in class Expression
        Parameters:
        rebindings - a mutable list of (old binding, new binding) pairs that is used to update the bindings held in any local variable references that are copied.
        Returns:
        the copy of the original expression
      • getExpressionName

        public java.lang.String getExpressionName()
        Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.
        Overrides:
        getExpressionName in class Expression
        Returns:
        a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in export() output displaying the expression.
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Description copied from class: Expression

        The toString() method for an expression attempts to give a representation of the expression in an XPath-like form.

        For subclasses of Expression that represent XPath expressions, the result should always be a string that parses as an XPath 3.0 expression. The expression produced should be equivalent to the original making certain assumptions about the static context. In general the expansion will make no assumptions about namespace bindings, except that (a) the prefix "xs" is used to refer to the XML Schema namespace, and (b) the default function namespace is assumed to be the "fn" namespace.

        In the case of XSLT instructions and XQuery expressions, the toString() method gives an abstracted view of the syntax that is not designed in general to be parseable.

        Overrides:
        toString in class Expression
        Returns:
        a representation of the expression as a string
      • toShortString

        public java.lang.String toShortString()
        Description copied from class: Expression
        Produce a short string identifying the expression for use in error messages
        Overrides:
        toShortString in class Expression
        Returns:
        a short string, sufficient to identify the expression
      • export

        public void export​(ExpressionPresenter destination)
                    throws XPathException
        Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
        Specified by:
        export in interface ExportAgent
        Specified by:
        export in class Expression
        Parameters:
        destination - the expression presenter used to display the structure
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the export fails, for example if an expression is found that won't work in the target environment.
